Decyltrimethylammonium bromide (Cat No.: I041514) is a cationic surfactant composed of a decyl (C10) hydrocarbon chain and a quaternary ammonium headgroup, paired with a bromide counterion. It is commonly used in biochemical and industrial applications for its surface-active properties, including solubilizing membranes, disrupting lipid bilayers, and forming micelles. DTAB is useful in protein purification, nanoparticle synthesis, and antimicrobial studies. Its strong surface activity and ability to interact with negatively charged biomolecules make it valuable in colloidal stabilization and formulation science.
